E-mail: Info@driftuk.co.uk 80quid for the full day. Free spactating. Yes, can get v.close, hence these pics from last sunday ;) http://homepage.ntlworld.com/matt.cotton1/phil.jpg http://homepage.ntlworld.com/matt.cotton1/sierra.jpg http://homepage.ntlworld.com/matt.cotton1/skyline.jpg And a coupla vids from a previous one that someone took. http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=7405073 http://www.savefile.com/files3.php?fid=8657132 No way in hell ill be there at this rate, but theres practice days almost every week, and every day on the road, so no prob, lol. |
Cheers for the info.
Those guys are pretty fkin good. Are they pro's? Car's certainly look like it. Seeing all these vids and stuff you've posted up is making me want to get an S13 even more. I need to get one and start my own local drift crew so they can fix my car when i smash it into things. |
Not Pro's, but Phil in the black S14 in the pics aboveis one of the best in the UK, the Pink 350Z is a mega bucks tuner car, but not driven by a pro in that vid just pretty good, and the other vid is matt in his S14 and like Phil hes not a pro, but hes very good!
Ive been in that car with Matt, and he's proper nuts, only reason hes not won many comps so far is hes sooo agressive he ends up crashing, he awesome. Having a bunch of mates that will help you fix it will help soo much mate, im a bit fucked at mo as not many of my mates are into cars, Greg (Bigwig) comes to help loads, but he lives miles away so even thats not so easy! |
Update, seeing as ive got some pics thanks to Greg... :clap:
We (me, Dan/Fudgeass, and Greg/Bigwig) took the old engine and box out, swapped all relevent bits onto the new engine, and put it back in. Taking it out took 2hrs tops inc removing all the pipes n shit. Shame fitting it has took a good 7hrs now and we still not mananged it :cry: :cry: :cry: Just cant quite get it all lined up perfect :wall: :cry: old engine out https://img.photobucket.com/albums/0...4/21012006.jpg me lookin like a proper gimp next ot the old engine :cry: https://img.photobucket.com/albums/0...1012006001.jpg old engine and box on the floor https://img.photobucket.com/albums/0...1012006002.jpg the new engine https://img.photobucket.com/albums/0...1012006003.jpg me cleaning out one of the cam covers :cry: https://img.photobucket.com/albums/0...1012006004.jpg the new engine and box once bolted all the bits i needed to it https://img.photobucket.com/albums/0...1012006005.jpg the new engine almost in place https://img.photobucket.com/albums/0...4/22012006.jpg getting there.... |
Nice one Steve!!! c :top: :top:
how long until its back on the road then?? or is it back on the road now?? is this new engine standard#?? |
Back this weekend i think mate.
That ones internally standard. Bolt-ons are good enough anyhow, can get 350odd with no prob anyhow on std internals. But if I break it i might uprate the HG and Pistons, esp if I can get em for free... :DD: Im more interested in the new turbo n balloon blower that il be fitting soon. Esp as now I realised itl fit in a better place to how I thought, so a big front mounter is now no prob... |
good stuff matey :cool: :cool:
|
sounds promising then mate!!
could you not build that spare engine up and get some internals specced up and fitted? ;) |

Shame as my mate has been out nigh on every day drifting and been to two more practice days so is waaay better than me now :cry: Seriously tempted to do one of them Volvos soon, R5GTT engines bolt straight in, so thats ideal as thats my specialist engine ;) |
Looking good Steve. :top: :top: :top: :top:
Keep it up. Volov? |
|
Got the engine in and mounted properly at last!
https://img380.imageshack.us/img380/5199/standsx1lk.jpg :cry: Once we knew how, what took us 7hrs of trying before was done in about 45! :cry: Thanks to the prop having 2 UJ's it was easy to get the prop into the gearbox by removing the prop mount and the safety hoop thingy. Getting all the gearbox mounts in is a right fiddly arse of a job tho, which is annoying as its a 2min job to remove em! Nearly there... Went down the scrapper on saturday and found this... https://img499.imageshack.us/img499/...appersx1wd.jpg So robbed a few bits n pieces off it, tho the few bits we couldve done with, we didnt remember to get :cry: Started to remove the front bumper too, then decided i couldnt be arsed, and went home :cry: Got some parts for doing a 5stud hub conversion on sat, should have the rest by monday. Then i can fit the deep dish Work Equips off my GTR onto the S13 :cool: |
me with hammer in 2nd pic,looks like im about to bash the car! :roll: well,maybe i did! :cry:
1st pic came out ok there steve!sweet. ill get you that other pic tomorrow! :top: soon to be on the road oh yeah! :banana: |

when you looking at for a completion date? Today alone I ordered some adjustable rear camber arms, a vertical hydraulic handbrake, and off in a bit to go pick up the rest of the bits to do a 5stud conversion :cool: |

Big boost in power then.

He painted it with a ROLLER :eek: :eek: :cool: :cool: Didnt even rub the car down :cry: |
What type of roller :eek:
That finish looks pretty damn fucking good! |
He said any closer than about 6ft and you can see its not perfect.
But frankly... Who fucking cares! :DD: I mean, matt black is for mean ass racers not show cars :top: |
Very true... ;)
Looks smart either way :banana: Where did you get your handbrake from? :D |
Rally design mate :top:
Feels soo nice to use :clap: Cant wait to plumb the fecker in :top: |
Cheers :top:
Need to look at some ;) |
Think your gonna use it much tho?
Under normal track use you wont touch it. Only reason I got it is its massivley useful in drifitng to initiate the drift and adjust the angle if you cant by other means. |
I might if i start hill climbs...Ive applied for the licence, If its to much bother then i wont, But im just pricing up things :top:
|
Aaah, for things like autotests and maybe hillclimbs too then yeah, its a good call.
Id deffo go for your national B or summat mate and get hillclimbing, should be an ace crack :top: Timed/Judged stuff is sooo much more fun to me, thats why ive neer been a huge fan of track days |
My shell/cage is being built for track/hillclimb so its good in both areas etc etc
Just an option, When i got the paper work through i might just turn my nose up... We'll see :top: |

Yea, that car was Supercharged.
Not turbocharged as well though. |
